I am an elementary school teacher. I showed my students how to play and they became very excited. I let them take turns playing in teams and had them write reviews. The majority of the reviews were positive. Students had fun scanning the game board and finding the correct robot head. Some said the game was too easy while others became frustrated and said it was a game of luck rather than skill. Once every student had an opportunity to play, we had a discussion about what skills were needed in order to play. Strong players explained their strategies, which helped to illuminate others as to how there actually is skill involved when playing. The most revealing test as to whether or not a game is fun is how often the students ask to play it again. This is a game that students ask to play regularly!

My family of 4 had lots of fun with this game. Though, it's pretty challenging for my 4 year old to find the right robot... I do believe with a bit more practice my 4 year old will get the hang of it and love it. My husband and I spent a lot of time playing with my 8 year old and we all enjoyed it. Since there aren't too many pieces we we able to take it with us while traveling too! This would be a great gift for a 5 or 6 year old.

This game is so much fun! My 6 year old son and I had a blast locating the different robots. You shake the dome and there are four colors that fall in slots to show the different features of the robot. There is one additonal color that gets hidden and doesn't come into play for that round. Then the hunt is on to find the robot that matches. The game itself can go pretty quick (about 15 min for us), so it is great for those with shorter attention spans. Of course you could keep playing over and over like we did as there are so many different combinations! It would be easy for the youngest of players to understand how to play, Though if your child is under 4, you might need to motify play and focus on one or two features instead of all four. This game would be great for traveling as well as there are not too many pieces to keep track of. It has been a great addition to our family game nights!
